Nancy won't
attend summit
Washington (AP) - President
Reagan sought yesterday to
dispel what he termed "inaccurate
speculation and false hopes" that
his summit with the Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev will lead to new
superpower agreements.
Reagan also. said he would
confront Gorbachev in Iceland this
weekend on the Soviet Union's
continued military operations in
Afghanistan and "unceasing" human
rights violations.
THE WHITE HOUSE
reinforced Reagan's view that the
summit was a working session, by
announcing that Nancy Reagan
would remain behind in
Washington, despite plans by
Gorbachev's wife to go to Iceland.
Until Raisa Gorbachev's plans
were revealed on Icelandic
television, the United States had no
inlking that she would accompany
her husband to the hastily-called
superpower summit, White House
spokesman Larry Speakes said.
The Icelandic government
confirmed that it was notified on
Sunday of Mrs. Gorbachev's plans,
and that she would be the guest of
Edda Hermannsson, the prime
minister's wife.
"WE WERE surprised that
Mrs. Gorbachev is coming," said
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes. "It was our understanding
that this meeting was to be brief, a
limited number of people traveling.
It was to be a straightforward
business meeting with very little, if
any, social activity connected with
it."
Minutes later, as they spoke to
an anti-drug abuse group in the
White House Rose Garden, Reagan
and his wife were asked whether the
American first lady would now be
included in the U.S. entourage atj
the summit.
"No," they declared in unison.
MRS. REAGAN shrugged
and smiled when asked why she
wouldn't go to Reykjavik.

Pollack said she could not

LSA sophomore Debbie
Buchholtz, Youth Campaign
Coordinator for the Apley
campaign, said Apley has received a
"very positive" response among
students. She said she worked for
her local senator over the summer
and saw how the Legislature
worked. She met Apley and found
that she supported "all of his stands
on issues." That, coupled with her
dislike for Pollack, led her to join
the Apley campaign.
Buchholtz said she thinks Apley
has a good chance of defeating
Pollack because /'she can't
effectively represent the district.

IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS
Hostages' families: Reagan
should know who captors are
Relatives of two American hostages said President Reagan should.
know who is holding their loved ones in Lebanon, while a forme;
hostage suggested that the U.S. government take out a newspaper ad to:
locate the captors.
"We know who has my father, basically," Eric Jacobsen, son of
American University administrator David Jacobsen, said Sunday on the
CBS News program "Face the Nation." "We hear rumors all the time
and they all coincide.
"You'd have to have your fingers in your ears not to know who to.
go to and talk to."
Last week, the radical Shiite Moslem group Islamic Jihad released'
videotapes in which journalist Terry Anderson and Jacobsen bitterly
criticized the U.S. government's effort , or lack of it , to obtain their'
release and contrasted it with the successful effort to free U.S. News and
World Report correspondent Nicholas Daniloff from Soviet custody.
At a news conference in Denver on Sunday, the Rev. Lawrence
Jenco, who was held captive with Anderson and Jacobsen until being
released in July, said Reagan could easily find out who the kidnappers
are.
Educators endorse Blanchard,
Seven education groups, including the state's two largest teacher
unions, and the Small Business Association of Michigan endorsed
Democratic Gov. James Blanchard for re-election yesterday.
The seven groups representing kindergarten-through-12th grade
education supported Blanchard because of his commitment to increased.
financing for and improvement of programs in education, spokespeople
said.
"I think the fact that we have come together and have'agreed that'
Blanchard has been for education and therefore education is going to be
for Blanchard is a unique situation,"-said Don Elliott, president of the'
Michigan Association of School Administrators.
SBA Executive Director John Galles said the business group was
surprised by Blanchard's attention to small business concerns during his
first term.
Cancer greater among poor
Poor people run higher risks of getting cancer and dying from it,
according to an American Cancer Society report and a new study.
Among the reasons are cigarette smoking and a tendency for cancers
to be caught at later, less curable stages among the poor, scientists said.
Research had previously found disparities between blacks and whites
on the frequency and deadlines of cancers, but a re-analysis shows that
much of that effect really comes from differences in socioeconomic
status, said Dr. Harold Freeman, chairman of the committee that
produced the report.
"You can clearly show that poor peopledevelop cancer more and die
more from cancer simply because they 're poor. It means you have to
reassess how you're confronting the problem as a nation and as a cancer
society,"said Freeman, director of the surgery department at Harlem
Hospital Center in New York.
In terms of getting particualr cancers, he said, poor people show
higher rates of cancer of the lung, cervix, and esophagus.
DeLorean fraud trial begins
The federal racketeering trial of John De Lorean began yesterday with
the task of selecting 12 jurors to determine if the former automaker
defrauded investors of $8.9 million. - .
A grand jurylast year accused De Loren of diverting the money
from the research arm of his De Lorean Motor Co., which built
stainless-steel sports cars in Northern Ireland, and using it to repay
loans, buy jewelry and be used for other personal purposes.
"This isn't exactly the homecoming I was expecting," the former
General Motors Corp. executive said as he entered the federal courthouse
in downtown Detroit.
Referring to his 1984 trial and acquittal in Los Angeles on cocaine
distribution charges, De Lorean said, "They framed me in L.A., and
they're doing the same thing here."
De Lorean Motor, a Michigan corporation founded in 1975, fell into
financial difficulty shortly after production began in 1981, and filed for
bankruptcy the next year.
Businesses ignore technology,
AT&T chairman warns
The technology for the Dick Tracy two-way TV wristwatch may not
exist yet, but other electronic marvels are within the grasp of U.S
business and are simply being ignored, AT&T's chairman said
yesterday.
American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Chairman James Olson
warned that the failure of U.S. business to jump on technological
developments is hampering its ability to maintain a strong
manufacturing base and compete in the world market.
"I don't think the answer is building walls around the United States.
I don't think protectionism is the long-term solution to our problem,'
Olson said. "We have to make sure the rest of the world opens up
their markets like the U.S. market is open."
Even when American business has taken advantage of advanced
information technologies, it hasn't established standards that let various
systems communicate with each other, Olson said.

On September 3 the National

asked PBS to "remove credits
attributed to the NEH" and to "emit
any reference to the NEH as a
funder" for the series, according to
Noel Milan, NEH Media Relations
Officer in Washington, D.C. But
the NEH's initial $615,000
contribution to the series was not
withdrawn.
THE NE H'S letter to WETA,
Washingon D.C.'s public
television station, said, "worse than
unbalanced, this film frequently
degenerates into anti-Western
diatribe. When you seek funding
from the NEH... standard balances
of objectivity are demanded."
The NEH referred to the series as
"one man's soapbox," but Beller
countered: "The Africans an
insider's view of Africa...it provides
the viewpoint of a participating
observer (Mazrui)" and called it
"healthy commentary."
She said PBS' response to the
NEH was that it is "offensive that
PBS should not be allowed to
criticize government or Western
civilization."
